NTBackup does not work with CD/DVD. It is purely tape oriented, and I
think was included just for old NT users bringing their tapes forward.
You can make a backup with it onto Hard disk and then copy that to DVD,
or you can install one of the 'Packet writing' burning packages , Direct
CD/InCD/DLA which will allow it to use such a disk as output medium,
but it will not 'span' over a series. Better look for a third party
solution.
